Moving to WordPress

I am moving my site to WordPress from Google Sites (Gibson’s Workbench). I like Google Sites in a lot of ways, especially since you have a great amount of control over theme customization. However, Google Analytics doesn’t work as well as WordPress’ statistics, which are live-fed. If only theme customization was free on WordPress, then it would be great! WordPress also has exposure to search engines, which it doesn’t seem like Google Sites has.
